We are not sure what Preslie has at this point. She was on IV therapy for 6 weeks after a mysterious and very serious leg infection at a month old...some of her labs started to come back 'off' and we've been getting her tested for 'stuff' ever since (3 months now)...we've worked with 2 oncologists, immunology, etc. She's supposed to FINALLY get a bone-marrow biopsy in a couple of weeks...then hopefully we'll know what is going on. Her ANC's are REALLY low 300's and they don't know why!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178966273762200571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212485478080287079.post-87468448151064939742009-03-10T10:14:00.000-06:002009-03-10T10:14:00.000-06:00Not covered?Insane and inhuman!!Yes you are awesom...Not covered?Insane and inhuman!!Yes you are awesome Lacey,in ways beyond computers.I knew you would figure it out ... if I can make progress on this computer stuff ... anyone can!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209967185741239050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212485478080287079.post-66482810975087633882009-03-10T03:15:00.000-06:002009-03-10T03:15:00.000-06:00Hey Jaxson and Family, so happy to hear things are...Hey Jaxson and Family, so happy to hear things are going well with you and well done Carter - you look so much like your brother....

I know up here at the Cleveland Clinic sometimes if you explain to them your financial situation they will knock down your payments. Maybe we need to start up a donation button for little Libby? How sad it is to think that insurance companies hold our lives in their hands? I will pray that this situation will turn around.Kim Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711747372107048991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212485478080287079.post-71981219061371931762009-03-09T19:02:00.000-06:002009-03-09T19:02:00.000-06:00So horrible that a surgery like that would not be ...So horrible that a surgery like that would not be covered. <BR/><BR/>Way to go on figuring out the form.Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719754876592849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212485478080287079.post-57132002799832294322009-03-09T18:58:00.000-06:002009-03-09T18:58:00.000-06:00How could they NOT pay for it?
